DEREGISTRATION OF COMMON STOCK

On February 23, 2009, AB&T Financial Corporation (the “Company”) filed a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-157471) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to register a total of 535,510 shares of its common stock, $1.00 par value per share (the “Shares”), in connection with the Company’s 2005 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 2005 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “Option Plans”). The Company now desires to deregister all of the Shares not yet issued in connection with the Option Plans.

The Company intends to suspend all reporting obligations with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold, the Company hereby amends the S-8 by deregistering all Shares that are registered but unsold under the Registration Statement.
